Pink Tutu Jacket

Hey, guess what? I finally figured out that I need a permanent hanging system to shoot my knits. The rod now hangs from the ceiling rail and I can just slip on the sweater and not have a messy background cluttering up things. Duh. It took me long enough....This may be the longest sweater I ever knit. 32" from shoulder to hem. So I am calling it a jacket.
Anyway, here's the finished Pink Tutu Jacket. Knit side to side and then the sleeves are picked up and knit downward. No seams! Yay. We like that. I may write out the very easy peasy pattern.

I took a four or five hour break from knitting on the advice of my DH who thinks I am obsessed.

Hrumph.

Later I thought I might just do some swatching, which is an excuse to try out yummy yarns, with no project in mind.
I got out my ancient Treasury of Knitting Patterns, by the saintly Barbara G. Walker.
I love that they look difficult and fancy but are really simple.
The first one is the Horseshoe pattern in Silky Wool.
and below it is Crest of the Wave in Araucania merino (dee-lish-us) (detailed instructions below).

Then by six pm I had taken a long enough break and started this Vine Lace Vest. I may follow the pattern...except add sleeves, if I have enough yarn
